Miyoti Posted September 18, 2015 at 05:15 AM Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 at 05:15 AM Hello, everyone! Just here to find out what this text says on this screen divider.I actually thought I wouldn't have too much trouble looking this one up myself, but even though the characters (except for the bottom two) are fairly clear, I had one Hell of a time attempting to look it up. Was using online dictionaries to search by radical and couldn't find anything. Perhaps I'd have had an easier time if these characters were in simple Chinese, but I have a feeling this is traditional. I could be wrong, though. Man...really thought I could do this one, haha!Thank you everyone in advance! Sincerely -Miyoti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted September 18, 2015 at 06:09 AM Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 at 06:09 AM I'll go with the first, third and fourth as 荷 and 精趣. Is it possible the radical on the second is actually 王， with the first stroke having somehow flaked off? If so, you could consider 琱, a variant of 雕. Not that this makes all that much sense to me.

Miyoti Posted September 18, 2015 at 06:27 AM Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 at 06:27 AM I'll try to do some more research into your suggestions in the morning. Maybe I'll be able to find something! Anyone else want a crack at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted September 18, 2015 at 07:13 AM Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 at 07:13 AM Just to be clear, it's the second character I can't fix. The other three I regard as ID'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyoti Posted September 18, 2015 at 08:08 PM Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 at 08:08 PM After searching for over an hour and a half, I finally think I found what I was looking for. 荷塘清趣 - "Tranquil Delights of the Lotus Pond"I had to look up variants of the 2nd and 3rd characters until I finally found something. Once I switched them up, I got TONS of Google image results back depicting similar scenes that are on the divider I originally posted the calligraphy from.Thank you very much for your help, 889! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
